I have a custom Walmart cover art search but the problem is that I can't enable the MC options/features that work with Google Images.

Since MC always defaults to IE I can't seem to copy the image location to manually tag the files either, so I have to download the files manually.

Is there a way to enable this functionality for custom searches; why does it only work with Google Images?

Just to clarify, are you saying you can't

Right Click on Image > Copy
Then Right Click on file > Cover Art > Paste from Clipboard?

I'm not used to using IE7, and looking again I now see "Copy" (could have sworn that wasn't there last night upon pop-up window right click options), but copy shortcut is greyed out. Copy works though; I used to always use Copy Image Location in Firefox.

thanks!

Just a tip that pasting a URL will give a better quality image than pasting the actual image since Media Center can download the exact JPEG instead of resaving bitmap data as a new JPEG.

Good to know Matt. How can I grab the url in this situation?

Wal-mart brings up a pop-up when I choose "Enlarge".

The IE right-click menu won't allow me to copy the url, only copy.

I tried to copy the "Enlarge" url but it is the page location, and not the image url./

Maybe I can customize the menu in IE7?

Normally you can get the URL from right-click on an image in IE > Properties.

True, I had thought of that but ...I'm lazy. 

It would be nice to have that Google Image functionality elsewhere but just having this ability within MC is great, especially loading into new tabs.

thanks
